Is there a better way to store the refrigerator?

Today, I will share some practical refrigerator sorting skills with you, and re-plan your refrigerator at home!

Master the six principles of food storage? The refrigerator utilization rate is higher.

# 1. Plan the layout according to the structure of the refrigerator.

There is a saying that the temperature of the refrigerator is getting lower and lower from top to bottom. In fact, the temperature difference can be ignored, and what is more noteworthy is the temperature change caused by frequent opening and closing of refrigerator doors. No matter which area of your refrigerator is coldest, perishable high-protein foods such as fresh fish, meat and dairy products are best placed at the end of the shelf; The refrigerator door frame is frequently opened and closed, and the temperature is relatively highest, which is more suitable for storing sauces and drinks.

#2. Store raw and cooked food separately.

Don't mix fresh food with cooked food to avoid being contaminated or spoiled by bacteria. The cooked food leftovers are sealed and stored, and at the same time, the odor can be prevented; Edible fruits and vegetables are isolated in refrigerated drawers; It is also important to note that there may be some bacteria in the shell of untreated eggs, and cleaning will destroy the natural protective layer on the shell. It's best to store them in an egg box.

#3. Vertical stacking, making full use of vertical space

Why the same refrigerator has so many ingredients in other people's homes that it doesn't look messy; And your refrigerator is in a hurry before it's full? In fact, the interior of the refrigerator is a cube, and the vertical space of this "cube" can be fully utilized by stacking storage boxes; Like supermarket display racks, it will be clearer to arrange the ingredients of the same category vertically.

#4. Ways to prolong the fresh-keeping time of fruits and vegetables

When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, don't wash or cut them. If the surface is wet or stained with mud, you can gently wipe it with kitchen paper to absorb water. Mushrooms are easy to rot because of moisture, so wrapping a layer of kitchen paper can prolong the storage time.

△ Leaves and vegetables that are easy to lose water and dry are stored in perforated plastic bags, which can not only keep the moisture of fruits and vegetables, but also prevent the moisture from condensing and mildew in the bags. You can also use plastic containers with loose lids, or poke holes in ordinary plastic bags to keep some air circulation. (Image from Sumitomo @ Shrimp Mom)

△ Other fruits and vegetables with good water retention, such as oranges and melons with thick skins, can be preserved in breathable cloth bags and kraft paper bags. (Image from Sumitomo @ Han Han 8805 15)

#5. It is more convenient to cook after the package is sealed and frozen.

When you buy fresh meat to go home, you should first weigh the required weight of each meal, pack it and store it in the frozen area, so that one portion will be thawed for each meal to avoid repeated unpacking and thawing and deterioration. You can also prepare meals in advance and store them according to the dishes. Each storage box contains the ingredients needed for a dish. If necessary, you can directly take out a box of clean dishes to cook.

△ Some seasonings, such as shallots and sweet peppers, can also be chopped and frozen to extend the storage time. Sumitomo @ Hina bagged chopped green onion with milk that was not used up during lactation, and dated the bag. However, be careful not to thaw in advance when using it, it will be soft and rotten, just throw it directly into the dish.

#6. Don't put these foods in the refrigerator again!

If you want to keep fresh, you can't just throw it into the refrigerator, but also pay attention to distinguish the most suitable preservation methods for different ingredients. For example, the following foods, don't take up space in the refrigerator!

Mango, avocado, banana and other tropical and subtropical fruits are easy to affect fruit ripening in the refrigerator, which is more conducive to fruit ripening at room temperature.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, garlic, etc. Once refrigerated, it is easy to lose its flavor, and some fruits will become soft and rotten after recovering the temperature, which is suitable for storage in a cool and ventilated place and eating as soon as possible, such as a balcony facing north and without heating;

Rootstock ingredients such as potatoes, purple potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to rot after being wet, so just put them in a cool and ventilated place;

If exposed to heat, light and humidity, dry food and nuts are prone to rancidity. Therefore, it is best to put it in a sealed and light-tight bottle and put it in a low-temperature and stable environment.

△ Like Sumitomo @vpwr, nail-free hanging rod+hanging storage basket, and a room temperature storage area is set next to the refrigerator, which does not affect the food preparation line.
